Excellent!

If we are talking about a 1.2.0 release, then yeah, that's what you have to do. There is a slight issue with regards to the GPL, though: If your binary requires extra patches atop the 1.2.0 release branch, then strictly speaking we'd have to provide those to users... Not that would mind too much...

You should upload it via SSH to the SF.net file release system (FRS), and then notify us about the upload, including the name & size & MD5 of your uploaded file(s). Please make sure to read <http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/HOWTO-Release#Binaries> for notes on what the binary/package should contain.

To upload, do this (sftp also works):

  scp FILENAME SFNET_USERNAME,scummvm at frs.sourceforge.net:/home/pfs/project/s/sc/scummvm/scummvm/1.2.0/

Details on the FRS process can be found on
  <https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Release%20files%20for%20download>
and
  <http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/File%20management%20service>.


Actually, I thought that Wiki page I referenced also explained how porters can upload their binaries; but that didn't seem to be the case. Do we have this documented somewhere else? I just added a few words on the subject, but the whole HOWTO-Release could benefit from some lovin'. 


Bye,
